Gloria Shepherd: Raising the Bar

This special episode of the InfraTalk Podcast is brought to you during Women’s History Month and celebrates our ‘Women Leading Innovation’ series. ITA Publisher Gregory G. Nadeau sits down with Gloria Shepherd, executive director for the Federal Highway Administration. Making history as the first woman and African American to serve in her current position, Shepherd is paving a deep path for others to follow in her footsteps.

Listen in as they discuss:

• Shepherd's accomplished academic background and the path that led her professional career to transportation,
• The impacts and responsibility that came with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law,
• The core four: safety, equity, economic prosperity, and climate change,
• And reuniting communities separated by infrastructure.
